There are a few issues that have arisen
in the past week
that are requiring the status of upcoming
Naked Goat Markets
and events in the
Bethel Lake Wylie Park District
to be "pending".
It is important you know why.
As you know there are a few people on social media who always seem
to post negative things about me personally, professionally, and beyond.
With as little drama as possible,
I want to let you know
that their continued efforts, numerous FOIA requests, social media posts,
and more appear to have been successful for them. In reality, I believe the victory is short lived because the unintended result of their actions will be better communication between York County and the Bethel Lake Wylie Preservation Park District board including clarification of the ordinance that governs this unique volunteer board. As you know, board members attend events, direct traffic, help with set up & breakdown, schedule musicians, accept & deliver food donations and much more...
in addition to serving in their capacity as
good stewards of taxpayer monies in the
special tax district.
I am limited in my capacity
because I am the County Council representative and the board must work independently. This is the hardest part for me to swallow because we have all worked in support of local farms, makers, bakers, food trucks and musicians to bring a fun filled community event to the D2 community. The properties purchased were the result of my vision for "greenspaces and fun places" in the Bethel Lake Wylie area of York County
and
I feel responsible to the voters and taxpayers who put their confidence in
me and are much deserving of great value for their tax dollars. I also have great confidence in our board members and
appreciate their dedication and endurance
during this phase of learning. I trust we will all we emerge better, stronger and ready to move forward with even more fun community gatherings.
